weigeren Posted October 1, 2012 at 08:29 AM Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 at 08:29 AM Just a "quick read" translation would be enough. I started and I think it is all about achieving goals through hard work, or somethin like that, but there are many characters I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylee Posted October 2, 2012 at 03:11 AM Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 at 03:11 AM They are written by someone for his son called Datong (達同) in 1998 when he was a guest/visitor in "west city". They should be read from left to right (quite strange). The contents are all very clear. The one on the left is from Shang Shu (尚書) - 功崇惟志，業廣惟勤。 Determination leads to great achievement, diligence leads to flourishing business. The one on the right is from Yijing (易經) - 天行健君子以自強不息 - wikitonary 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
